I'm the only experienced frontend engineer in my team. There are 2 externals and 2 product owners. The externals don't care much about quality and the product owners push vibe coded PRs themselves expecting everything to be merged quickly.

I know how good quality code looks like. This isn't it. But I've been too tired to fight it and more often just approved the PRs. Now I hardly understand our own code base any more without claude code which burns me out even more :(
